These pills were not for accumulation, but for refinement, for stabilizing what was already within.
Han Yu knew his body well, and he knew his limits. He was already pressing against the boundary of the Late Stage of Qi Refining.
What he needed now was to strengthen his base, to prepare his dantian for the surge that would come with a true breakthrough.
"Here I go," He swallowed the Spirit Essence pill, and within moments he felt the change.
A whirlpool stirred in his dantian, the spirit Qi within him roiling as though caught in a storm. His spirit sea lit up before his inner vision, and within that sea two kinds of Qi swirled.
The first was the most abundant, an almost silvery, attribute-less spirit Qi that made up the bulk of his cultivation. The second was tinged with faint green, the Wood Element spirit Qi. Han Yu's affinity to wood had always shown itself, even though his techniques for its use were limited to alchemy.
